NORTH END PARKS
A total of 2.8 acres designed by Crosby, Schlessinger & Smallridge and
Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Ltd. Construction, with an $8 million budget, begins
in the fall on two rectangles of lawn, gardens, a canal-like strip of water, and a
pergola. The Freedom Trail will run through it, but critics wonder how inviting
the small parks will feel to people beyond the neighborhood.
